Well, that is one of the points that really got under my skin this morning. While getting dressed, heard the parishioner talking on the TV how that this is most likely religious prosecution.

Religion has abosolutely nothing to do with this. The guy broke the law, period! As I said ignorance is not a defense.

As for having a Winchester and no bullets. Here in Guatemala you can bring in a gun or bullets, but need to declare it upon entering. Furthermore, to be able to do this, you need to have your concealed weapons permit valid. Therefore when you come in with the gun or bullets, you declare it and they register it to you weapons permit.
